Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

About this programme

The MMath (Hons) in Mathematics will teach you to understand complex patterns and structures, and to develop the tools with which to analyse them. Whether these patterns relate to physical or biological phenomena or the structure of mathematics itself, the primary aim is to describe, categorise, and understand the processes involved. Mathematics students will acquire the analytical techniques, clear logical thinking and deductive reasoning necessary to explore some of these fascinating areas of research. The MMath allows you to combine undergraduate and postgraduate study into a single five-year programme, graduating with a Masters degree. The MMath in Mathematics is accredited by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications . The MMath (Hons) in Mathematics is a five-year Integrated Masters course run by the School of Mathematics and Statistics. The course offers advanced study of mathematics at postgraduate level during your final years, allowing you to graduate with a Masters degree. In the first two years, you will develop and reinforce your basic mathematical skills and refresh familiar material (for example, complex numbers, matrices, vectors, differential equations) in preparation for more specialised study at Honours level. Alongside Mathematics, in the first year of your studies you will be required to study up to two additional subjects. From second year onwards, you will take only mathematics modules.
